If you had to pick ONE place to live for the rest of your life...

I Kid I keeeed. Seriously though I grew up in MA about 2 hours from Boston and loved every visit I made to it. So I moved here and I absolutely love it. If I had to pick ONE place though, it would be Old Saybrook, CT.

On the west coast somewhere... preferably northern west coast.

Lived in Portland, SUCKED!

Viusited Boston twice, once in the fall and once in the Spring. Awesome city!

Portland rains way too much and I think Portland lacks intelligence & sophistication!

and that leads you to... Boston? :Q

I live in a rural area. I used to live in a small city. The reasons I hated living in the small city would be magnified ten-fold in a larger city. Of course, in the small city, I could and did walk to restaurants, bars, etc. - all those things that people find wonderful in the city. In the rural area, I get in my car (what a fantastic invention) and drive to those places if I want to go there. Then, when I'm done enjoying those over-rated excuses people make for city-living to be better, I can drive back to my rural area, sit out on the patio or front porch, enjoy all the stars, enjoy the sounds of crickets, peepers, the occasional coyote howl in the distance, and every once in a while, the faint clip clop clip clop of a horse pulling an Amish buggy down a road a mile away. Yes, I can hear traffic a mile to 2 miles away - it's that quiet and peaceful. That's why people from the city have camps near me that they visit every weekend - to have a nice quiet, peaceful place to relax. Come to think of it, I think I'll go for a walk through the woods now & see if I can shoot some cute furry woodland creatures for dinner. (Or, maybe a turkey.) I guess if you don't like the outdoors, then the city is the place to be. If that's the case though, why do cities have parks?

that sounds like a place i would like to visits, and not live.

Take down your poll, it's wearing fail snowshoes.

Anyways, I'd probably opt for Clarksville, TN. I've lived in IL, OH, TN, CA, NC, MO, and NJ. TN was definitely the best. I'm sure that there are better out there, but it's hard to make that call without living there.

My folks were from Clarksville . Nice town, nice friendly people

It gets really cold in the desert during winter. I've been there, and it's not pleasent.

Maybe I'll bring an electric blanket with me then.

I like our current city....Fair Oaks, CA. A hidden gem. There's something about the flow of the land and the ecosystem of the river banks in the big city that I love.

I love the Pacific Northwest coast, but couldn't live there as every place is really small until you hit Seattle which is a little too big.

I guess a vineyard outside Napa would be about the only other real option.

i used to live in folsom,ca for close to 3 years, way better than the shit hole that is sacramento

Some place cold and with lots of trees. Lots of lakes would help.

I suggest Minnesota, or upstate NY in the Adirondacks.

Yea, I'v considered Minnesota. my family is mostly in IL, with some in WI, and an uncle, aunt, and cousins in SD. I would actually probably move to the Green Bay area ...

Portland MAINE!

US - Maybe a ranch in Montana, or somewhere in Oregon.
